Bug Description
SRU Justification
[Impact]
Hello,
It seems that although the Azure kernel distribution includes the `tcm_loop` module by default, the EKS-optimised image's default kernel doesn't, instead including the module in the `linux-
`tcm_loop` is an incredibly useful package for any storage fabric software packages - eg. Ceph, Rook or Ondat. It would be very helpful to have it embedded into the default kernel distribution in order to reduce friction on installing 'storage fabric' type topologies.
The Ubuntu on EKS images are all listed in https:/
[Fix]
Add tcm_loop.ko to the inclusion list
[Test Case]
Check that linux-modules includes tcp_loop.ko
[Where things could go wrong]
Moving tcm_loop.ko from linux-modules-extra could impact proprietary methods.

Thank you for reporting this. We'll pass this along to the kernel team as well for some evaluation. thank you for providing the use cases for adding this to the image. One of the questions is whether this is a standard use case in EKS (and EC2) environments. The Ubuntu EC2 and EKS images both use the `linux-aws` kernel package.
